“No, honey – you don’t know what you need.”
“I’ll take care of you.”
Sensible – up to a point
“I’ll decide for you.”

I predict a new battlefield:
time versus certainty
Copyright © 2013 e-Patient Dave Please contact via epatientdave.com before re-using
To the scientist, the time when we
find the truth is irrelevant to its worth.

But to a patient with a progressive
disease, time is everything

Time Value of Money
“A dollar today is worth more
than a dollar next year”

Patients are proposing there’s a
Time Value of a Treatment
“A treatment today is worth more than the
same treatment next year”

For patients with a progressive disease …
“A treatment today may be worth more than a better treatment next year”

What factors are worth tracking
as a patient’s condition
and development of a treatment
proceed separately but simultaneously?

Factors in an equation for the time value of a treatment
• Efficacy – We assume efficacy will improve as we continue
developing and testing the intervention
• Certainty of the benefit (low p) – More studies, and improvements in development,
should improve certainty over time
• Utility to the patient (need, benefit, etc)

Time Value of a Treatment as time progresses:
Vtx,t = f(efficacyt, certaintyt, ut)

Scientists quantify efficacy and certainty.
Only the individual patient can assess the utility.
